In the member profile/option there is the option to 'Hide onlne status' Is there any way of removing it so that no one can hide?

Unfornatelly there is no way to keep anyone from hiding (no way to disable hide online status), all you can do is put in a rule that forbids it and that any user who does will reprimended, the other thing you can do is in the acp you can modify any user who does's profile and tick no to hide my online status and manually un hide them. Sorry

If you can edit the templates, you can remove it.

For PHPBB2 Go to: Admin panel >> Display > Templates > Profile > Profile_add_body
In the search box type 'hide' around three times (maybe more) and you'll come across something like this:
Remove that, hit save, publish template and then the option to hide users won't exist any more. However any existing users hidden will have to be unhidden via the ACP, user profiles.

- Code:
<tr>
<td class="row1"><span class="gen">{L_HIDE_USER} :</span></td>
<td class="row2">
<label class="gen"><input type="radio" name="hideonline" value="1" {HIDE_USER_YES} />{L_YES}</label>
<label class="gen"><input type="radio" name="hideonline" value="0" {HIDE_USER_NO} />{L_NO}</label>
</td>
</tr>
